Happy Merdeka Birthday?!

Filed under: General — Eileen Yap @ 11:48 am

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday!

No, happy birthday is not for our country. It is especially dedicated to my dearest friend, Desiree who is borned on the 31st August twenty over years ago. We knew each other since the age of 5. To me, this sweetie is such a blessing to our friendship. We have been through thick and thin, ups and downs. I really appreciate it. On this special day, I would like to wish her Happy Birthday, good health, and much happiness in returns! Toast our friendship till the end!

Yes, merdeka is for my beloved country, Malaysia. This year is the 50th anniversary of independence.  I am glad that all the races with different religions live in peace and unity throughout these years. I am indeed proud to be a Malaysian!

Serunding

Filed under: Food — Eileen Yap @ 11:23 am

Serunding is a product of Kelantan. It is like the chicken floss that we always eat. The only difference is, it is made of beef. Should I call it beef floss then. It is hot and spicy. The fragrant of the spice is very nice and I guess they do add in coconut milk as well. It is nice to be taken just like that as snack or to be taken with rice. I first tasted it when my mum’s colleague from Kelantan gave us a packet. Since then, whenever her colleague goes back to Kelantan, mum will sure to get her help us buy a packet or two. I also asked my friend to help me to buy. I feel lucky that both mum and I got friends from Kelantan. This simply means that we can have serunding from time to time without having to go to Kelantan personally. *Happy*

Tao Kae Noi

Filed under: Food — Eileen Yap @ 10:37 am

There was once a colleague introduced this snack to me. From then onwards I am so in love with it. Yes, it is Tao Kae Noi. Translated into English it is called ‘Small Boss’. No, do not get me wrong. It is not a human being. It is a type of Japanese Crispy Seaweed, a product of Thailand. As far as I know, it has got three sizes, 20g, 50g and 85g per packet. It can be taken as snack, taken with rice or put into the soup. It is simply too yummy and so irresistible! It comes with different kinds of flavors. So far I only managed to try the original flavor and the spicy flavor because it is always out of stocks! Both are equally yummy! It is so crispy, fresh and the taste is just nice. D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S !

The packaging is very attractive with bright colors. You can also see this ‘small boss’ dresses up himself in red, smiling happily to you on the packaging for the original flavor. Well, it is like different expression for different flavor. With the creative design and colorful packaging, you will not miss out even if it is placed among many types of snacks. It stands out!

I find that I have a serious problem with this Tao Kae Noi though. Once taken the first bite, I could not stop anymore. I can only stop eating when I finished up the whole packet. It is so addictive. People would say, ‘Aiya, what is so big deal, just go and get a few more packets from the shop lah!’ But heck, it is so not a cheap snack you know? How I wish I can have free supply of Tao Kae Noi Japanese Crispy Seaweed for the rest of my entire live. Haha! *Day Dreaming*

Movie Carnival

Filed under: Event and outing — Eileen Yap @ 1:25 pm

No. It was not so fun. It was raining from the evening till mid night! I was supposed to be happy that night as I was watching Happy Feet but no, I was not. I was soaked as I was sitting on the ground holding a small umbrella throughout all 3 movies. Haha! Cazy huh?! But it was an extraordinary experience anyway.

The movie was supposed to start at 7pm but due to the unforeseen weather, it was delayed by one hour.

All the people came with umbrellas, caps, sweaters, raincoats, chairs so on and so forth. It was fun observing all kinds of people. Those came with kids got to leave earlier as it rained heavier.

There were also stalls setting up the hills selling food and snacks but business was so so only as it was raining.

Hokay hokay, this is me, trying to camwhore a bit under the small umbrella in the rain while waiting for the movie to start. Hehe!

Just blabbing

Filed under: General — Eileen Yap @ 9:43 am

Boo hoo… :’( Someone said my blog isn’t interesting enough to make one continue reading. Hahaha. That doesn’t matter at all lah. After all just a few people know I have got this blog. Even I have stopped my blog at friendster and moved here I did not tell everybody. I am trying to treat this blog as my diary to record what I have done and what had happened. I write just for the sake of writing. I think this is a great place for me to say just anything and maybe post some photos to share with you all. Well, this is my blog but not only I share with you all mah, you people can share with me as well. Tell me where can I find good food, good ice cream or any nice place to visit. I like to listen to people as well. If you do not know me, we can even make friends.

****

Life is just normal lately. No ups and downs just a normal flat graph. Haha! Anyway, there is something which I have not given up yet. I think I will not give up and I am not going to give up. I wanted to try till the end. So people, wish me luck ok? ;)

****

Sometimes I still think about the past. What we have done. All those crazy things we have done. Like buying a box of ice cream which consists of 6? And we had 3 each at one go as we were afraid that they would melt. Miss the time we held a can of Pringles each and eating like no tomorrow then kept complaining it was very salty. When we met again, I felt funny and weird. We did not look at each other. We did not talk to each other directly but just mixed around when talking to friends. It has been so long already since I last heard the word ’senior’ until you mentioned it to me again. That time it took me sometimes to react as to process, who is ’senior’. Time past, human changed, things would never be the same. Only good memories can be kept. I sincerely hope that you are doing fine.

****

Oh ya, I am looking forward to this weekends. Movie carnival! Yeah!! Anyone of you going? Maybe we can meet there!

****

Ok la, I think I am being too ‘lo so’ already, with all the broken english some more. So scary. Hehe. I better stop here. Until next time! C ya!
